Sands of time

The sands of time,
They find us all,
They do not care,
For big nor small,
As grain by grain,
They forever fall,
Counting life away.

The sands of time,
They bring with them,
Tears of love and pain,
Laughter, hurt,
Hope and fear,
In every tiny grain.

The sands of time,
They do not slow,
With no judgement,
No remorse to show,
And when your grain falls,
Your time to go,
The sands of time won’t change their flow.

When your grain falls,
You are released,
The sands they hold no sway,
You’re free to spend eternity,
With loved ones lost again.
